Importance of ASM
Importance of ASM
Our record when he starts is incredible. He completely transforms the team.
With him in the team we average 1.89 points per game which would see us finish in the Champions League places.
Without him starting we average 0.57 points per game which would comfortably see us finish bottom.
He's also up for player of the month and you can vote for him here:

Re: Importance of ASM
Would be sensational to see the keeper burst up the left side and do three defenders

Re: Importance of ASM
To emphasise the point: over a 38 game season we’d average 21 points without him, making us one of the worst Prem teams of all time
It’s brilliant we have a player like him but also shocking that we rely so heavily on one individual

Re: Importance of ASM
The lad has all the attributes to be world class. I think bruce has done a good job with him, seems to have instilled a greater sense of teamwork in him. When he first came there was a lot of criticism of him dribbling to nowhere ad lacking the final ball. He now seems so much more aware of play and where his team mates are going to be.
Against Bournemouth (which is his best performance for us) I can only remember 1 crazy dribble and that was his second assist. He rest of the game he seemed to have a few decent dribbles but did all the other bit right too. I feel if this was Rafa we would e seeing everyone saying hes the one who's got the best out of him with man management etc

Re: Importance of ASM
Whilst very influential for our results pre lockdown, I’m not sure if his end product during that period would suffice for a top 6 club. Hard to tell if his form since the restart has just been a purple patch.
Re: Importance of ASM
If it was Rafa he wouldn't be here. People are quick to mention that he didn't want Joelinton but they don't mention him not wanting ASM.Don Sholeone wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 10:28 amThe lad has all the attributes to be world class.

Re: Importance of ASM
Seen some people pointing that out on Twitter about Joelinton, the irony is Rafa wasted more than £40m on trash like Sels, Lazaar, Hanley, Murphy, Atsu, Kenedy, Joselu, Muto, Slimani etc and that's just transfer and loan fees alone, that's not including agents fees, wages etc. So it's a bit ridiculous to hold Rafa up as some genius for not wanting Joelinton.ALF wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 11:15 amIf it was Rafa he wouldn't be here.

Re: Importance of ASM
Oh yeah some of Rafa’s transfers were absolute shockers, same at Liverpool too.

Only because he wasn't allowed to get his preferred targets. He had no choice but to buy s*** playersBodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 1:43 pmOh yeah some of Rafa’s transfers were absolute shockers, same at Liverpool too.

Re: Importance of ASM
Also the thing about him not wanting Joelinton, wasn't it more that he didn't think he was worth the price? With our pretty tight purse strings, clearly didn't want to play his load all in one go on someone with an average at best record at Hoffenheim.

Linked with Arsenal and Napoli in the French press today (according to the BBC Gossip Column which is about as valuable as Lawro's punditry insights).

Re: Importance of ASM
Agreed. His decision making as to when to take on another defender, when to pass and when to shoot have really improved as the season's gone on. Mind you, I think he's also benefited from recent tactics that have brought more players forward and provided him more options in and around the box.Don Sholeone wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 10:28 amThe lad has all the attributes to be world class.
